Reception
Caroline Sullivan of The Guardian rated the album 3/5 stars, stating, "Raghav's first album starts with a swirl of Bollywood strings, delivering a deceptive message about this Canadian-Indian singer. Though pushed as a sort of one-man, hunkier Cornershop, he's really more of an Asian Craig David."
The song "So Confused", won him the award for Best Single and Best Newcomer at the 2005 UK Asian Music Awards. The single "Angel Eyes", won Best Crossover Chart Act at the 3rd Urban Music Awards.
